Paragraph 4
Urges Annex I Parties to raise the level of ambition of the emission
reductions to be achieved by them individually or jointly, with a view
to reducing their aggregate level of emissions of greenhouse gases in
accordance with the range indicated by Working Group III to the
Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, Climate Change 2007: Mitigation of Climate Change AR4, and
taking into account the quantitative implications of the use of land
use, land-use change and forestry activities, emissions trading and the
project-based mechanisms and the carry-over of units from first to the
second commitment period;

• Source: IPCC Working Group III, Chapter 13, Box 13.7, page 776.
• a) The aggregate range is based on multiple approaches to apportion emissions between regions (contraction &
convergence, multistage, Triptych and intensity targets, among others). Each approach makes different assumption
about the pathways, specific national efforts and other variables.Additional extreme cases – in which Annex I
undertakes all reductions, or non-Annex I undertakes all reductions – are not included. The range presented here
do not imply political feasibility, nor do the results reflect cost variance.
• b) Only the studies aiming at stabilization at 450 ppm CO2-eq assume a (temporary) overshoot of about 50 ppm
(See Den Elzen and Meinshausen, 2006).

Conclusions
• New allocation studies confirm the reductions in Box 13.7.
• For non-Annex I (NA1) countries as a group “substantial
deviation from baseline” is now specified: 15-30% for 450 ppm
CO2-eq, 0-20% for 550 ppm CO2-eq and from 10% above to 10%
below baseline for 650 ppm CO2-eq, in 2020. Roughly the frist
10% can be “no-regret options”
• If Annex I countries as a group reduces with 30% below 1990
level, non-Annex I need to reduce about 10-25% below baseline
for meeting 450 ppm CO2-equivalent
• For baseline that assume ongoing rapid growth in non-Annex I
emissions (higher than IPCC SRES range), the reductions will be
higher.
• Avoiding deforestation relaxes the reductions for Annex I and
non-Annex I

First Million-ton Coal-carbon Capture Device was Officially
Put into Operation in China
The first Million-ton CO2 capture device designed for coal-fired power plant in china was put into
operation in Chongqing Hechuan. China Power Investment Group announced on January 21, 2010.
It can capture 10000 tons of high purity CO2 from 50 million cubic meters of flue gas generated by
coal-flue power plants as expected. Quanda environmental protection engineering company,
owned by China Power Investment Group, designed the device which is one of the few Million-ton
CO2 capture devices in the world with international leading technology and advantages including
low cost, broad flue gas adaptability, high CO2 capture rate and low solvent consumption.
Paragraph 1
[Option 1: Decides that carbon dioxide capture and storage in
geological formations is eligible as project activities under the clean
development mechanism, provided that the issues identified in
decision 2/CMP.5, paragraph 29, are addressed and resolved in
satisfactory manner trough, inter alia, the actions identified in
paragraph 2 (a-n) below;
SITE SELECTION
a) Careful selection of the storage site for CO2 capture and storage in
geological formations is key in addressing issues related to
permanence of storage, liability, the international legal framework
and environmental impacts, including transboundary impacts;
b) Any consideration of CO2 capture and storage in geological
formations shall be based on stringent and robust criteria for the
selection of the storage site;
Issues Identified – Annex FCCC/SBSTA/2010/L.11

LIABILITY
(Short, Medium, and Long-term)
Paragraph 3
Decides that the modalities and procedures referred to in paragraph 2
above shall address the following issues:
a) The selection of the storage site for carbon dioxide capture and
storage in geological formations shall be based on stringent and
robust criteria in order to seek to ensure the long-term
permanence of the storage of carbon dioxide and the long-term
integrity of the storage site;
Decision -/CMP.6
b) Stringent monitoring plans shall be in place and be applied during
and beyond the crediting period in order to reduce the risk to the
environmental integrity of carbon dioxide capture and storage in
geological formations;
c) Further consideration is required as regards the sustainability of the
use of modeling, taking into account the scientific uncertainties
surrounding existing models, in meeting the stringent requirements
of such monitoring plans, in particular taking into account the 2006
IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories;
d) The criteria for the site selection and monitoring plans shall be
decided upon by the Conference of the Parties serving as the
meeting of the Parties to Kyoto Protocol and may draw upon
relevant guideline by international bodies, such as the 2006 IPCC
Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories;
Decision -/CMP.6
e) The boundaries of carbon dioxide capture and storage in geological formations
shall include all above-ground and underground installations and storage sites,
as well as all potential sources of carbon dioxide that can be released into the
atmosphere, involved in the capture, treatment, transportation, injection and
storage of carbon dioxide, and any potential migratory pathways of the carbon
dioxide plume, including a pathway resulting from dissolution of the carbon
dioxide in underground water;
f) The boundaries referred to in paragraph 3 (e) above shall be clearly identified;
g) Any release of carbon dioxide from the boundaries referred to in paragraph 3
(e) above must be measured and accounted for in the monitoring plans and
the reservoir pressure shall be continuously measured and these data must be
independently verifiable;
h) The appropriateness of the data development of transboundary carbon
dioxide capture and storage project activities in geological formations and
their implications shall be addressed;
i) Any project emissions associated with the deployment of carbon dioxide
capture and storage in geological formations shall be accounted for as project
or leakage emissions and shall be included in the monitoring plans, including
an ex-ante estimation of project emissions;
Decision -/CMP.6
j) A thorough risk and safety assessment using a methodology specified in
the modalities and procedures, as well as a comprehensive socio-
environmental impacts assessment, shall be undertaken by independent
entity(ies) prior to the deployment of carbon dioxide capture and storage
in geological formations;
k) The risk and safety assessment referred to in paragraph 3 j) above shall
include, inter alia, the assessment of risk and proposal of mitigation
actions related to emissions from injection points, emissions from above-
ground and underground installations and reservoirs, seepage, lateral
flows, migrating plumes, including carbon dioxide dissolved in aqueous
medium migrating outside the project boundary, massive and catastrophic
release of stored carbon dioxide, and impacts on human health and
ecosystems, as well as an assessment of the consequences of such a
release for the climate;
l) The results of the risk and safety assessment, as well as the socio-
environmental impacts assessment, referred to in paragraph 3 (j) and (k)
above shall be considered when assessing the technical and environmental
viability of carbon dioxide capture and storage in geological formations;
Decision -/CMP.6
m) Short-, medium-, and long-term liability for potential physical leakage
of seepage of stored carbon dioxide, potential induced seismicity or
geological instability or any other potential damage to the
environment, property or public health attributable to the clean
development mechanism project activity during and beyond the
crediting period, including the clear identification of liable entities,
shall:
